Solution

Sure, let's break down each transaction:

The basic accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

a) Paid rent Rs. 500 This transaction decreases the company's assets (cash) by Rs. 500. Since this is an expense, it also decreases the owner's equity by Rs. 500. So, the equation remains balanced.

Assets (decrease by Rs. 500) = Liabilities + Owner's Equity (decrease by Rs. 500)

b) Purchased goods on credit Rs. 6,500 This transaction increases the company's assets (inventory) by Rs. 6,500. Since the goods were purchased on credit, the company's liabilities (accounts payable) also increase by Rs. 6,500. So, the equation remains balanced.

Assets (increase by Rs. 6,500) = Liabilities (increase by Rs. 6,500) + Owner's Equity

c) Sold goods costing Rs. 6,500 on credit for Rs. 8,000 This transaction increases the company's assets (accounts receivable) by Rs. 8,000. The cost of the goods sold (Rs. 6,500) decreases the company's assets (inventory) and the profit (Rs. 8,000 - Rs. 6,500 = Rs. 1,500) increases the owner's equity. So, the equation remains balanced.

Assets (increase by Rs. 8,000 and decrease by Rs. 6,500) = Liabilities + Owner's Equity (increase by Rs. 1,500)

In all these transactions, the accounting equation remains balanced, proving that the accounting equation is satisfied.
